The DLMPST Commission on Logic Education invites you to a webinar on logic education by Professor Maria Manzano. She will speak about the European ALFA project on Tools for Teaching Logic that we had last century and about the International TTL Congresses that we held in 2000, 2006, 2011, 2015, and 2023.

Since 1995, the Philosophy Department of the University of Amsterdam has annually appointed a foreign philosopher to the Spinoza chair. As part of the appointment, the Spinoza professor gives a number of lectures intended for a broad audience that wants to stay informed about contemporary developments in philosophy. This is the first of two lectures by the current Spinoza Chair holder, Jennifer Lackey, the Wayne and Elizabeth Jones Professor of Philosophy at Northwestern University. 

Talk That Science is a science radio show and podcast that aims at disseminating the work of young researchers and making it accessible to a wider public. We are funded by the UvA Student Impact Center and have hosted more than a hundred episodes on a wide variety of topics. We will host Marianne de Heer Kloots, Phd candidate at ILLC, Friday 11th April at 13:00 to talk about AI and Cognition. The discussion will then be available freely on the Echobox radio website, on the Talk That Science channel.

Over twee weken is het zover: AI020! We kijken ernaar uit om samen met onze partners een inspirerende dag vol AI-innovatie te beleven. Dit jaar hebben we een ijzersterk programma met toonaangevende bedrijven, keynotes, workshops en startup pitches. We sluiten af met een exclusieve AI Salon, waar AI-startups hun nieuwste ontwikkelingen presenteren.

Sprekers: Onno Zoeter (Booking.com), Ashley Burgoyne (Muziek & Machine Learning), Bart Veldhuis (Rapid Circle).
Workshops & stands: TechPros, Naice, Q42, Snowflake, Databricks, Gemeente Amsterdam, Prosus, Booking.com, Digital Bricks, Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens en meer.

N.B. Leden van het ILLC kunnen bij aanmelden aanvinken "Official partner of AI" om gratis toegang te krijgen.

For this session we will look at Modality and Structuralism, section 15 of: Charles Parsons, Mathematical Thought and Its Objects, 1st ed. (Cambridge University Press, 2007). As the title suggests, Parson explores an account of structuralism trough modal notions; the role of necessity and possibility in mathematical discourse, and the ontology of mathematical objects.

Our next film night, which will take place in the ILLC Common Room, on April 23 at 19:30. Snacks and drinks will be provided! As per usual, all Master of Logic, Logic Year, and ILLC PhD students are invited.

We are collecting ideas for the film night. After hearing your film ideas, we’ll open a poll to all students so that we can make a decision.

After the success of our first workshop Polar Question Meaning[s] Across Languages, we are launching a second POQAL meeting, this time focusing on form. How are polar questions expressed in syntax, morphology, intonation? How do components of the grammar of each language constrain and determine these ways, e.g. in the inventory of functional categories, the expression of negation, focus, polarity, intonational characteristics, pragmatic division of labor among forms? How do fine grammatical components correlate with fine components of meaning? What crosslinguistic generalizations can be made in this new level of granularity?
